    It should just unscrew from the tap. If it doesn't, then get the maintenance guy to get rid of it for you so that you can hook up you washing machine.

    Hi badz23. Are you possibly asking about the plastic knockout plug on the drain of a washer box? If so, a screwdriver and hammer at the lip of the plug, then just take your time with a pair of pliers and peel it up. Just be careful not to let any pieces fall down the drain.
